This imposing mansion was built in the 18th century upon the hillside of Kamini. It is a fine example of Hydra´s unique traditional architecture, with magnificent extended views of inland rural Hydra as well as across the sea to the Peleponnes and the island of Spetses. This lovely old mansion originally housed a nobleman and his staff. After extensive restoration and the addition of a west wing to provide a new modern kitchen with sea view terraces and an additional bedroom, the property has become one of the most comfortable holiday homes on the island of Hydra.
Surrounded by lush gardens and terraces that are accesible from many rooms and all levels, this property has an interior which is modern in functionality but maintains the island´s typical building styles. Architectural features include marble floors throughout, high wooden ceilings, grey stone terraces and stone walls surrounding the property and arched door entrances and windows. The vacation house is also decorated with original art work, echoing Hydra's rich artistic heritage, which has produced artists, painters and important politicians. The bustling town of Hydra is only a ten minutes walk. From there, water taxis will bring guests to the beaches, as cars are not allowed on the island.
